New
York
(ANI):
Recently
married
'The
Hills" stars
Heidi
Montag
and
Spencer
Pratt
may
have
to
tie
the
knot
again
–
if
their
Mexico
wedding
fails
to
get
registered
in
legal
books.
On
Nov
20,
the
couple
exchanged
vows
in
an
impromptu
ceremony
at
the
One
&
Only
Palmilla
Resort
near
Cabo
San
Lucas,
Mexico,
reports
The
New
York
Daily
News.
However,
the
lovey-dovey
pair
failed
to
obtain
the
requisite
marriage
license
before
the
ceremony
and
to
their
disappointment,
Mexico
doesn't
legally
recognize
their
marriage
at
this
time.
But,
Pratt
had
claimed
that
they
could
legalize
their
union
in
the
United
States
like
other
celebrity
couples—
like
Mariah
Carey
and
Nick
Cannon,
Tom
Cruise
and
Katie
Holmes—who
got
married
in
foreign
land.
"Like
other
elopements
that
happen
outside
the
country,
we'll
take
care
of
the
legal
details
when
we
get
home," he
told
Us
magazine.
However,
the
couple
might
be
in
for
another
shock,
as
Los
Angeles
County,
where
the
twosome
reside,
does
not
acknowledge
marriage
ceremonies
that
take
place
outside
the
U.S.
without
some
form
of
legal
acknowledgement
from
that
country's
government.
"It
won't
be
legally
recognized
here.
They
would
need
to
go
to
court
for
that," said
Maricela
Najera,
L.A.
County
records
supervisor.
And
in
order
to
ward
off
the
option
to
go
to
the
court,
the
couple
may
have
to
revise
their
vows,
after
following
the
proper
legal
channels.
"If
they
got
married
without
a
marriage
license
then
yes,
that's
an
option,"
said
Najera.
Meanwhile,
'Hills"
executive
producer
Liz
Gateley
has
told
MTV
News
that
the
couple's
married
life
and
honeymoon
will
play
a
prominent
part
on
The
Hills' upcoming
fifth
season.
She
said
that
cameras
are
still
down
in
Mexico,
where
the
two
eloped
last
week,
filming
their
honeymoon.
"MTV
is
currently
filming
Heidi
and
Spencer
in
Mexico,
as
we
were
expecting
to
capture
them
on
vacation.
Fans
will
be
able
to
see
the
exclusive
footage
from
the
ceremony
in
an
upcoming
episode,
and
we
will
continue
to
follow
the
newly
weds''
relationship
as
it
plays
out
in
real
life,"
Gateley
told
MTV
News.
